It was due TO the remarkable self

TIE BTsT or GOOD ORDER.
The good order in Montgomery was
maintained 10 the moment OF departure.
II seems 20 have been the result of the
iorethought OF the authorities and the
excellent plans made by them, based
apparently upon the cxpcr ence Of the
travellers in other places and described
in the Associated Press dispatches. The
hotel people temporarily surrendered

cards bearing the signatures of the
Governor and Mayor authorizing them

for their use.

Montgomery, somehow. reminded
the visitors Of Madison, Wis, both in
points Of resemblance and those of con-
trast. Each is a type of its section.
combining the pictures and features of
roomy country village with the advan-
taees Of amodorn city. The Presidents
entertainers in Montgomery lament

visitors would have had nothing

negro cabins, with their quaint groups
of men, women, and children-ver0 all
in keeping, and were the clements OF a
scene familiar TO strangers in pictures
of the South but never before wit
messed in fact.
HOMEwAGD BOUND.
The travellers, having within ten
days had a chance to experience the
Inequalities of all sections of the coun-
Try between Minneapolis, where snow
actually fell upon them, and Mont
Comery, where banana-trees wer0 found
growing in the open air, turned their
faces hOmeward with promise from
the railroad people that run Of forty
two hours should land them in Wash
inqton. The presidential special train
started for home at l p. NJ.

people gathered at the depot of the

blazed up and down the track and over
it were thrown two magnificent arches
Of electric lights. The immense con-
course of people gave expression to
their enthusiasm in frequent cheers
for Cleveland and louder and even
heartier cheers for Mrs. Cleveland.
The presidential train was met two
miles outside of the city by a
committee consisting of Mayor Knox,
of Rome Mayor McWilliam, Of East

Mr.. John L. Graves, editor of the
Dafly Tri6Uac, who was charged with
the duty of introducing the President

drew up TO the depot amid the cheering
Of thousands Of men and the waving of
bandkerchiefs OF hundreds Of ladies III

under one of the brilliant arches, aud
